At Goryeb Children's Hospital, we take an individualized approach to each resident’s education. This includes intensive mentoring and an advisor system to ensure success throughout the residency and beyond.

Faculty Advisor

Initially, every resident is assigned to one of the program directors during orientation to ensure their initial primary educational needs are being met. Emphasis is on basic clinical skills and wellness. As the year progresses and residents have the opportunity to work with a variety of faculty, they may select additional advisors based on their needs – research advisor, career advisor, life mentor, etc.

Residents and advisors meet on a regular basis to outline educational goals, formulate individualized learning plans and discuss evaluations and career aspirations. Once residents decide on a career path, they may opt to change or add a faculty advisor in the general or subspecialty area most related to their interest. Faculty members also assist residents with applying to fellowships and finding positions in private practices.

Research Advisor

Each resident is required to perform a scholarly activity during his or her training. Through the Goryeb Academic Pediatric Support committee (GAPS), each resident is linked with a faculty research mentor to help focus the resident’s interest and navigate the proper channels toward a successful research project.

Board Review Advisor

Each PGY-3 is assigned to one of the medical education faculty members to assist with planning for board study process. This includes deciding on an individual basis the best learning style and study materials for each resident. At Goryeb Children's Hospital, we have an individualized approach to each resident's education. This includes an intensive mentoring and advisor system to ensure your success throughout your residency and beyond. Our open-door policy extends from your advisors to the chairman and program director.
